The new job

I noticed that I keep saying that it's real and here. A lot. That's annoying...not that anyone is reading this anyway. Hubby starts his new job on Jan 30th. I'm thankful that we get some time before he has to dash away and we have to live separately for the next 5 months. That is going to suck. A lot. I depend on him so much. There are so many other things that need to be fixed here, and it's going to fall to me to get it done. AHHH...no wonder I am beginning to resemble a whale. Can you say stressful?

I really am happy for him. He is excited for this new experience. They want him to fill the shoes of the boss who is retiring, which is pretty huge! It will be more managerial than anything, and I think that's something that he will flourish with. He's a people person, and has wanted the chance to lead for a good while now. So here we go!

Christmas is almost here...um, so not done with shopping. Not a thing wrapped. 0 stocking stuffers. And Christmas is. Gasp! Next week?? Really?? I'm hoping to make it out on Friday and have another dinner date/shopping date with hubby to finish up.

After Christmas the fun/work begins. Taylor has to have tonsils, adnoids, out and tubes put in again. I need to pack what I can that will fit into the car...what on earth will that be? And prepare to say goodbye.

So. Much. To. Do.

Crunch time

It's real. It's here. The job has been accepted. We're waiting to hear a start date. We haven't told the kids yet. I want to stay here and finish out the year with them. I think it would be much easier to start fresh next year. And it's the holidays. I'm trying to get in the spirit. Really I am. I force myself to listen to Christmas music, lol. I'm making room for our tree. I need to dig it out of the corner of the garage....I need to clean. Paint. Fix this and that. No, scratch that, I need to have someone else do it, lol. I can't fix a broken disposal. Anddddd......are you ready? The roof has a leak too. WTF. What is God trying to tell us here? Is he trying to make us poor? If that's his goal, he's doing a darn fine job. I haven't started Christmas shopping yet. Know why? Yeah...the next check is always going to cover something else. *sigh* This too shall pass. Right? Lord, give me the strength!

Interview

Yesterday was hubby's interview. It's real. It's here. No turning back. We're waiting for the call...I guess with in a week or so we'll know the inevitable. Until then, more waiting. Wait, wait, wait. I think that's all I do lately. What's a little more waiting?
